Over the weekend of May 17 and 18, Chinese Netizens began posting pictures of the Chinese Liberation Army heading for the border of China and Vietnam as anti-Chinese sentiments in the South-East Asian country continue to escalate.
The troops headed for the border town of Pingxiang, along with tanks, heavy artillery and other military gear. While the troops move closer to the border, Chinese citizens based in Vietnam have begun returning in droves as they fear for their own safety. More than 3,000 Chinese citizens fled Vietnam last week alone.
The moves come after Vietnamese citizens began protesting and carrying out acts of violence against Chinese citizens and companies last week. The cause for the violence is the setting up of an oilrig off the coast of Vietnam by Chinese government owned oil corporation CNOOC. The rig has been erected near the disputed Parcell Island
Analysts now say that the photos being posted on Chinese social media sites by Netizens was instigated by the government in order for their opposition to see what kind of strength is heading for the border.

LoL... if America couldn't beat Vietnam with the help of Australians and others... what chance does China think it has? Get out of their waters China, stop being an idiot. Your people will suffer from your poor decisions.

I have heard Chinese people say they are so proud of the Chinese leaders because they show strength. I'm sure they will be even happy at war and upset with the outside world when China is defeated. Why would they ever want to mess with Vietnam? History is a great teacher. True history, not that made up shit they are taught at school.
